TL;DR
$\,$This work analyzes a semilinear nonlocal heat exchanger system in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with fractional diffusion $(-\Delta)^{\sigma}$ and Fujita-type nonlinearities, establishing global-in-time existence for small data in the super-critical regime $\min\{p,q\}>p_{\mathrm{Fuj}}(n/\sigma)$ and deriving detailed large-time asymptotics in $L^m$ spaces. The authors develop a time-weighted Banach fixed-point framework together with Fourier analysis of the linear coupled system, yielding explicit kernel representations and sharp decay estimates. They show that, for large times, solutions approach diffusion-based profiles governed by the sums of initial data and nonlinearities, with optimal $L^2$-rates and explicit dependence on the coupling parameters $\mu,\nu$. A byproduct of the analysis is sharp lower bounds for the lifespan in sub-critical and critical cases, extending Fujita-type theory to the nonlocal two-environment heat exchanger and connecting to prior work by Treton (2024).
Abstract
We mainly study global in-time asymptotic behavior for the nonlocal reaction-diffusion system with fractional Laplacians which models dispersal of individuals between two exchanging environments for its diffusive components and incorporates the Fujita-type power nonlinearities for its reactive components. We derive a global in-time existence result in the super-critical case, and large time asymptotic profiles of global in-time solutions in the general $L^m$ framework. As a byproduct, the sharp lower bound estimates of lifespan for local in-time solutions in the sub-critical and critical cases are determined. These results extend the existence part of [S. Tréton, SIAM J. Math. Anal. (2024)].
